Hello everyone and welcome to dispatch #3 from Everest Basecamp. We arrived here two days ago... the Mountain Trip camp is right around 17,500′ and our spot is located near the upper end of this makeshift city.

This May I was offered the opportunity to travel to Spits Bergen Norway to film with the legendary Warren Miller film crew. I was told that we would be traveling to Spits Bergen an island north of Norway just 500 miles from the North Pole. We would be living on a glacier for 3 weeks and skiing couloirs that have never been touched by humans before. Once in Norway I met up with professional skier Reggie Christ, legendary artic explorer Doug Stoup along with Professional photographer Will Wissman, world...

You might have noticed that women are rarely featured in ski movies. So a year ago, five of my friends and I decided to make our own all-girls ski movie, and we’re proud to present you the trailer of “As We Are”. We traveled, skied, planned and lived together last season, visiting each of our home ski areas. The result is beautiful action footage in some of Europe’s best ski areas, and an inspiring tale of a group of girls having fun in the mountains. Get out there girls and go for it!

PORTILLO, Chile — With every step I kick in, another 7 inches of elevation is gained. In 14,000 inches, I will reach my final destination somewhere above 12,000 feet.

This trip began two years ago as a brain-child of Noah Howell. Noah had heard vague rumors of a remote, rugged mountain range called the Revelations and had tried to fly in there from Talkeetna but was thwarted by the weather. In the big AK picture, the Revelations are about 140 miles west/northwest of Anchorage and form an almost perfect equidistant triangle between them, Talkeetna and Anchorage. You can fly there from either Talkeetna or Anchorage, although Anchorage has more planes to...
